A typical chart plotter display is shown in the illustration below. The chartplotter uses position information fed from position-fixing equipment such as GPS or DGPS. With position data available, your boat’s position is marked on screen with a boat icon, the configuration of which can be selected from the menu. If no heading or course data is available, your boat is shown as a hollow circle (flashing). Waypoints and routes you have entered are shown on the display, and they can easily be moved, deleted and edited from a pop-up menu. In addition to waypoint and route processing, the chart plotter also provides information to nearest port, displays your boat’s track, measures distances and bearings, marks man overboard (MOB) position, process various alarms, follow simple and complex routes, etc. Text message area Sensor icons Status bar Chart scale Presentation mode selection icon World map Waypoint Boat icon (red) Cursor Nav data 1-7 Chapter 1: Operational Overview 1.7 Radar Display Overview A radar system operates in the ultra-high-frequency (UHF) or microwave part of the radio-frequency (RF) spectrum, and is used to detect the position and movement of objects. Objects are shown on the radar display at their measured distances and bearings, in intensities according to echo strength. The radar display is available in head-up, course-up and north-up modes and orientation in true and relative motion. Relative motion shows other ships movement relative to own ship, True motion shows own ship and other moving objects moving in accordance with their true courses and speed. Dual VRMs are provided to measure the range to objects, and dual EBLs to measure the bearing to targets. A guard zone can be created to be alerted to targets in a specific area. The trail of targets can be shown in afterglow to monitor their movement.
